Barbara's Bakery (Puffins, Wheatabix) - NOT SAFE FROM TREE NUTS

Subject:     RE: Contact form inquiry from Barbara's Bakery website

Christine:
I believe that you and I just spoke, so to recap, all of our cereals are produced in a peanut free facility except our Peanut Butter Puffins.  Our Shredded Spoonfuls and Shredded Wheat cereals are not run on share equipment with products which contain tree nuts, but are in the same facility as.  All of our other cereals are run on shared equipment with products which contain almonds and hazelnuts and, although thorough cleaning is done between products, these should be avoided by highly sensitive individuals.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions or concerns.

Best regards,
